Your family, your friends ~ even your very life is taken from you in one fell swoop that leaves your soul desolate and filled with an eternal rage. Resurrected by an unforgiving spirit, you have one purpose to your life, one thing that keeps your heart pumping and your mind from giving in to the relentless grief ~ vengeance. Prepare yourself to embark on a dogged vendetta that calls upon you to fight your way through Mordor and uncover the truth of the spirit who compels you. This epic tale of revenge and redemption transforms you into the most feared force in the land ~ the Shadow of Mordor.Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will. The game begins on the night of Sauron's return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance. Based on the player's actions with the in-game Nemesis System, every enemy encountered is distinct and can evolve to become a personal archenemy through the course of the game. As Talion's personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.

I have the PS4 version as well and while it's not quite as graphically detailed, it's still very enjoyable. Regardless of the console, I think this will appeal to any LOTR fan who also likes to game.

I used my trusty 650 for years before moving to the 700. I like the darker color scheme and really appreciate the ability to charge it via USB instead of having to swap out batteries.
You sit by your boarded-up window and listen for any sign of movement outside. When you're pretty sure it's clear, you open your door slightly and slowly slip outside and into the deserted street, armed to the teeth. The streets are littered ~ trash and the remains of your neighbors saturate the streets. As you make your way down the sidewalk, you hear a noise behind you and whip around to check it out. It's the old lady who lived upstairs, but she looks...different. She's heading your way with a bloodthirsty look in her eyes. This is no time to be squeamish ~ she'll be just the first of many standing in your way. Will you make it out of London? More importantly, will you stay human?It's 2012 and London is falling. In ZombiU, the Last Blight is upon us and humanity has been ravaged by a sickness worse than death. Designed to take advantage of the Wii U and its unique controller, the game tests your will to survive. Use the Wii U controller as your Bug-Out Bag and keep it stocked with supplies, including food, weapons, ammo, first aid and more, and defend your home against the infected horde outside your door. Feel your adrenaline rush as you try to keep your eyes on the television and the controller screen at the same time. Try to stay alive, but if you do succumb, watch out for your online friends who will hunt you down to loot your supplies. Wake up as another survivor and try to escape your old character who has now become infected. Challenge your friends to Survivors vs. Zombies mode and use the Wii U controller to play as Zombie Master, or use the classic controller and play as a survivor. Try to stay alive ~ and more importantly try to stay human ~ in this fear-fueled game of survival.

You can tell the developers really put some thought into this game, with creative uses for the Gamepad, etc. I picked it up on a whim, and I'm having a blast playing it.
